Caribbean - Heavy downpours across the Caribbean have caused deadly floods that forced the evacuation of thousands of people, authorities said Wednesday. In St. Vincent and the Grenadines, floodwaters swept away two people, including a 6-year-old boy. Authorities said they were still searching for the boy, whose older brother tried to save him despite suffering a broken leg and head injuries as they both got swept out to sea. The government of the eastern Caribbean island also shuttered schools and government offices amid heavy rains after multiple landslides blocked dozens of roads. Meanwhile, at least one person died in the Dominican Republic amid flooding that prompted the evacuation of 26,000 people in the country's eastern and northern regions.
